Q: My sister recently logged into my iCloud from another device. Am I supposed to receive any notifications? Like if she signs back in or when she signs out?

    Hello there, Mloez9451.

     

     

     

    It sounds like you're inquiring about notifications received when you login to other devices with your iCloud account. The following Knowledge Base article, written for explaining account security, reviews some information you may find useful:

     

     

     

    If you think your Apple ID has been compromised

     

     

     

    Because you use your Apple ID for so many Apple products and services, you should make sure that your Apple ID is as secure as possible. You should be the only person who knows your password and can sign in with your Apple ID. If someone you don’t know or don’t trust can sign in with your Apple ID, your account is not secure.

    Here are some reasons why the Apple ID you're using may not be secure:

    • Someone else created an Apple ID on your behalf, or you’re using an Apple ID that was already signed in when you received your device.
    • You’re sharing an Apple ID with family or friends. Your Apple ID is your personal account. If you want to share purchases with a family member, use Family Sharing. You can also share a calendar, photos, reminders, and more without sharing your Apple ID.
    • You don’t recognize the Apple ID that is signed in on your device.
    • You shared your password with someone else intentionally or unintentionally. For example, someone else selected your password for you, you told someone your password, or you might have entered your password on a "phishing" site.
    • You don't have control of the email address associated with your Apple ID.
    • Your password is weak or has been compromised.

    If any of the above are true, you should reset your password as soon as possible and review your account information. See below for complete steps.

    How do I know if my Apple ID was compromised?

    Your Apple ID might be compromised if you receive an account notification from Apple for a change you didn't make, or if you notice account details or changes you don’t recognize. For example:

    • You receive an email or notification that your Apple ID was used to sign in to a device you don't recognize or did not sign in to recently (for example, "Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud on a Windows PC").
    • You receive a confirmation email from Apple that your Apple ID password was changed or your account information was updated, but you don’t remember making any changes.
    • Your device was locked or placed in Lost Mode by someone other than you.
    • You see messages you didn't send, or items you didn’t delete.
    • You see charges or notices for purchases that you didn't make. Use these steps if you see an unfamiliar iTunes Store or App Store charge on your credit or debit card statement.
    • Your password no longer works, or it might have been changed or locked.
    • You don't recognize some or all of your account details.

    If you received an email that you're not sure is valid or you think might be a fraudulent "phishing" email, here are some tips that can help you determine its legitimacy.
